Torrey Pines Sunset

Tracy and I were treated to a spectacular sunset cloud show at the Torrey Pines Gliderport in La Jolla recently. These two photographs were made just a few minutes apart. The first looks south along Black’s Beach towards La Jolla, with the Scripps Institution of Oceanography Pier just visible. The second is looking north along seacliffs of Torrey Pines State Park towards Del Mar. The colors in the sky were changing rapidly as the sun dropped below the horizon which is why the clouds look so different.
